The digital revolution fundamentally changed how cultural heritage is
created, documented, analyzed, and preserved. The book focuses on this
transformation's impact. How must museums and archives meet the
challenges of digitally generated cultures and how does the digital
revolution influence traditional object collection, research, and
education? How do digital technologies and digital art and culture
affect our interaction with images? Leading international experts from
various disciplines break new ground. Pioneering interdisciplinary
research results collected in this book are relevant to education,
curators and archivists in the arts and culture 
sector and in the digital humanities.

"Museum and Archive on the Move provides an 
excellent synopsis of current thinking across the 
field. If you are planning a new museum or 
archive, we recommend that you read this book 
first. In museology terms, this book also offers 
thought-provoking aspirations and useful 
criticisms."

Gabriela GALATI in: LEONARDO, December 2018: "The publication provides
an excellent overview on the current issues at stake in museums,
archives and institutions that need to deal with, but also hopefully can
profit from, the possibilities opened by either the digitalisation of
their collections, or the conservation and presentation of collections
of digital art or other media. In other words, it is a highly
recommended read to all professionals in the field."

“Das vorliegende Buch ist definitiv eine 
interessante und ausführliche Lektüre für alle, 
die wissen möchten, in
welche Richtung die Digitalisierung Museen und 
Archive verändern kann - und vermutlich auch 
wird."
